Bio

I joined Inovo when Gotye had No. 1 single worldwide and been crafting my skills ever since.

I’m happy to be a partner to Paweł and Marcin (Spacelift), Dragos (Archbee), Zuza et al (in stealth ;), Michał & Adam (AI Clearing) and Martin and Yass (eyerim) in their efforts to build something that matters!

Oh, and recently I’m traveling to US a lot as I’ve been admitted to KF Fellows Class 26, only the best network of VCs globally that cumulative has AUM of over USD 850bn!

@Inovo I’m mainly:

  • trying to make sense of all the new frameworks to build better software (duh…)
  • running after the next infrastructure project
  • putting the business rationale behind the more technical concepts (few words on the subject)

The founders that I’m the most excited about are:

‣
Doing things that matter for their customers

The bigger the potential impact of your business on the world around us, the better.

Who gets promoted and why if they buy your product?

‣
Asking the right questions

Early-stage tech business is all about proving the most important hypotheses for your business. It’s an iterative process - you either validate it and move forward to next set of questions or fail and pivot. There is no other way.

What is your most critical hypothesis that you’re validating right now?

‣
Communicating with clarity

Not everyone is a born storyteller but being able to communicate clearly is imo one of the most undervalued characteristics. I enjoy working with people that can clearly express their logic and view of the world both at high-level concept and operational details. Who were your first design partners and why?

‣
Understand that early-stage VC is much like sports

There are thousands of teams building new products at any given time. To succeed, you need to beat all the others in league tables at your stage. What are the proofpoints that you are on your way to Champions League? Which benchmarks are you looking to beat?

Sounds like you? Message me on LinkedIn or email me at maciej.malysz@inovo.vc

What do I do in my free time?

‣
Go for long walks to the forest with my dog

My Jack Russell Terrier is provider of much needed movement even if I don’t feel like it ;)

‣
Catching up with whatever Sci-fi books I’ve missed

I got into Sci-fi relatively late in my life 🤷🏻‍♂️ Beyond the classics from Azimov, Dick, Cixin, recently favourite is Andy Weir with his “Project Hail Mary”.

Do you have any recos?

‣
Look for the best restaurant in the neighborhood

I love food! Eating probably more than cooking ;) If time allows, I try to map all the top rated vegetarian restaurants in whichever place I travel to.

Do you know of any place I should visit?
